THE OLD SMITHY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD SMITHY sales from June 1999 and November 2006 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 1999 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the November 2006 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.
