40 LONGFORD ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 40 LONGFORD ROAD sales from October 2013 and August 2016 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 October 2013 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 40 LONGFORD ROAD be worth now?
