1 THE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 THE BIRCHES sales from February 1998 and December 2005 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 February 1998 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the December 2005 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
