5 THE SHIRES 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 three 5 THE SHIRES sales between October 1999 and February 2017 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 April 2003 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.
