The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 42 WEST DRIVE sales from May 2007 and March 2021 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the May 2007 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI.
