79 LOCKING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 79 LOCKING CLOSE sales from July 1996 and December 2020 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 1996 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
