7 CHURCH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 CHURCH CLOSE sales between July 2001 and September 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 2006 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
