2 BIRTCHNELL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 BIRTCHNELL CLOSE sales between May 2009 and July 2015 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 2012 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI.
