78 LAUREL BANK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 78 LAUREL BANK sales between September 1997 and October 2009 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 October 2000 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 78 LAUREL BANK be worth now?
