3 MERLIN DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 MERLIN DRIVE sales between April 1998 and August 2023 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 October 2003 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.
