The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leicester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 68 SCRAPTOFT LANE sales from September 2001 and September 2005 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 September 2001 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it rises to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.
68 SCRAPTOFT LANE might now be worth an estimated £650,072.
