CUCKOO HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CUCKOO HOUSE sales from March 2012 and May 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 March 2012 sale was for 164% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 164% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 150% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 150% above the HPI.
