THE MEADOWS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE MEADOWS sales from June 1996 and December 2015 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 June 1996 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
