BIRCH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BIRCH COTTAGE sales between October 2007 and November 2020 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 2017 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.
