TIMBERTOPS 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 TIMBERTOPS sales from October 1997 and August 2000 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 October 1997 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the August 2000 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.
