5 SAFFRON SQUARE 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 SAFFRON SQUARE sales from August 2008 and May 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 August 2008 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI.
