The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sandwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 HITCHCOCK CLOSE sales from April 1997 and April 2016 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the April 1997 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI.
