HIGH BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bromley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGH BIRCHES sales from July 2002 and April 2013 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 July 2002 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the April 2013 sale, where it rises to 105% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 105% above the HPI.
