THE BARN 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 four THE BARN sales between August 1995 and August 2011 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 September 2002 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
