8 MIDDLEHAM CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the County Durham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 MIDDLEHAM CLOSE sales between September 1995 and August 2015 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 October 1998 sale was for 56% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% above the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.

What might 8 MIDDLEHAM CLOSE be worth now?
