The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swindon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 SPARCELLS DRIVE sales between November 1996 and May 2005 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 December 2003 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the May 2005 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
