THE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cotswold local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE BIRCHES sales between January 2004 and December 2020 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 2006 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
