THE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torfaen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BIRCHES sales from March 2002 and December 2018 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 March 2002 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.
