23 CHARLES DICKENS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wychavon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 23 CHARLES DICKENS CLOSE sales from November 1996 and February 2003 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 November 1996 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the February 2003 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.
