5 LOCKINGTON 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 LOCKINGTON CLOSE sales from September 1995 and October 2022 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 September 1995 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.
