4 RICHARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 RICHARD CLOSE sales from June 2009 and December 2017 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the June 2009 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 4 RICHARD CLOSE be worth now?
