44 BRIGHTLEA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gateshead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 44 BRIGHTLEA sales from April 2008 and June 2008 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 April 2008 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the June 2008 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.
