6 ORCHID CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Melton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 6 ORCHID CLOSE sales from September 2002 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 September 2002 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 6 ORCHID CLOSE be worth now?
