8 WRIGHT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 WRIGHT CLOSE sales from October 2005 and December 2013 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 2005 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.
