THE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BIRCHES sales from July 1996 and September 2013 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 July 1996 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, which was also at 19% below the HPI.
