5 THE WRENS 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 5 THE WRENS sales between February 2001 and September 2014 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 2011 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
