5 BIRCH TREE VIEW Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Surrey Heath local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 BIRCH TREE VIEW sales from November 2009 and June 2014 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 November 2009 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 5 BIRCH TREE VIEW be worth now?
