78 SOMPTING ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 78 SOMPTING ROAD sales between May 1996 and May 2007 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 August 1998 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 78 SOMPTING ROAD be worth now?
