5 FERNDOWN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 FERNDOWN CLOSE sales between May 1999 and February 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 March 2013 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 5 FERNDOWN CLOSE be worth now?
