The two 97B POTOVENS LANE sales from May 2012 and April 2023 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 May 2012 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it rises to 183% above the HPI.
