40 THE POPPINS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leicester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 40 THE POPPINS sales between August 1997 and February 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 June 2007 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
