The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Harborough local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 AUSTINS CLOSE sales from August 1998 and November 2001 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 1998 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the November 2001 sale, which was also at 2% below the HPI.

What might 8 AUSTINS CLOSE be worth now?
