42 BECHE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cambridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 BECHE ROAD sales between September 1999 and October 2021 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 September 2006 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
