Land registry data shows two sales for THE BIRCHES since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the Bracknell Forest local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Both of the two THE BIRCHES sales were for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).
Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |
---|---|---|---|
2006 2 FEB | £525,000 | £352,580 | 49% above HPI |
1999 9 AUG | £249,995 | £209,154 | 20% above HPI |
The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bracknell Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BIRCHES sales from August 1999 and February 2006 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 1999 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the February 2006 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.
