8 BARKER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 BARKER CLOSE sales between April 1995 and July 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 March 2000 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.
