The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 HELMSDALE CLOSE sales between October 1999 and June 2009 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the March 2004 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the June 2009 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI.
