The two 5 MORETON END CLOSE sales from May 1999 and August 2016 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 May 1999 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI.
