ORCHARD 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 ORCHARD HOUSE sales from May 2002 and January 2021 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 2002 sale was for 92% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 92% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.
