5 RECTORY GARDENS 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 three 5 RECTORY GARDENS sales between March 1995 and August 2014 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 March 2007 sale was for 99% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 99% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 95% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 95% above the HPI.

What might 5 RECTORY GARDENS be worth now?
