5 COMETS GARTH Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 COMETS GARTH sales from November 2005 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 November 2005 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might 5 COMETS GARTH be worth now?
