The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sandwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 GEORGE BIRD CLOSE sales from October 2010 and January 2020 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the October 2010 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI.
