26 BIRCH GROVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 BIRCH GROVE sales from September 1996 and May 2012 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 September 1996 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
