The two 8 HIGH STREET sales from February 1998 and September 2000 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the February 1998 sale was for 119% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 119% above the HPI over time, until the September 2000 sale, where it falls to 97% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 97% above the HPI.
