The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 BIRCH CLOSE sales from August 1998 and May 2017 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 1998 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI.
