5 GILBERT SCOTT DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 GILBERT SCOTT DRIVE sales from October 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 October 1999 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.
