53 DARK LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheltenham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 53 DARK LANE sales between July 2005 and May 2018 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 November 2009 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
