40 MERLE WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 40 MERLE WAY sales between November 2003 and August 2018 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 2006 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.
