7 DOWNING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 DOWNING CLOSE sales between June 1995 and August 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 July 2002 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 7 DOWNING CLOSE be worth now?
