53 AFRICA DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lancaster local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 53 AFRICA DRIVE sales between December 2015 and August 2023 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 2021 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
