BIRCHWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BIRCHWOOD sales between March 1997 and March 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 August 1999 sale was for 188% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 188% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 84% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 84% above the HPI.
