4 THE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bromsgrove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 THE DRIVE sales from December 2002 and December 2016 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 December 2002 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.
