8 LEA CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worcester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 LEA CLOSE sales from June 1996 and November 2011 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 June 1996 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might 8 LEA CLOSE be worth now?
