5 LIME TREE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 LIME TREE CLOSE sales from October 2003 and October 2020 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 2003 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 5 LIME TREE CLOSE be worth now?
