5 FFOREST DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of Glamorgan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 FFOREST DRIVE sales between March 1999 and October 2015 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 July 2003 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 5 FFOREST DRIVE be worth now?
