The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 40 MERLEY GATE sales between October 2003 and November 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 August 2014 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, which was also at 5% below the HPI.
