THE OLD POST OFFICE 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 three THE OLD POST OFFICE sales between January 2000 and June 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 December 2003 sale was for 81% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 81% above the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it falls to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.
