The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stevenage local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 SPARROW DRIVE sales between November 1997 and February 2003 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 1999 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the February 2003 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
