The two 7 DUNCAN GARDENS sales from December 1996 and October 2011 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 December 1996 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, which was also at 3% above the HPI.
