The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 55 SCHOLARS CLOSE sales between June 2005 and October 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 November 2009 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
