LARCHMEAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LARCHMEAD sales from July 1996 and July 1998 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 1996 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the July 1998 sale, where it falls to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.
