8 BENSKYN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 BENSKYN CLOSE sales from September 1996 and May 2003 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 1996 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks in line HPI over time, until the May 2003 sale, which was also at roughly the same level as the HPI.
