BIRNAM Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BIRNAM sales between February 2016 and August 2022 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 October 2020 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
