MELITA HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the County Durham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MELITA HOUSE sales between January 2007 and November 2019 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 April 2010 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
