BRIGHTSIDE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BRIGHTSIDE sales from August 2005 and July 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 August 2005 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it rises to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.
