1 THE LEYS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 THE LEYS sales from August 1998 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 August 1998 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the November 2006 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.
