8 DOWNLEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rochdale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 8 DOWNLEY CLOSE sales between July 1995 and May 2012 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 November 2006 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI.
