5 HELSTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 HELSTON CLOSE sales from October 2011 and August 2012 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 2011 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 5 HELSTON CLOSE be worth now?
