BIRNAM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BIRNAM COTTAGE sales between April 1995 and December 2018 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 March 2004 sale was for 85% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 85% above the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it falls to 63% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 63% above the HPI.
