71 BIRCH ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Havering local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 71 BIRCH ROAD sales between January 1999 and August 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 November 2004 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might 71 BIRCH ROAD be worth now?
