The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 MELCHESTER CLOSE sales from September 1999 and December 2005 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the September 1999 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the December 2005 sale, where it rises to 48% above the HPI.
