THE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chelmsford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BIRCHES sales from July 1997 and February 2012 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 July 1997 sale was for 102% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 102% above the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, where it rises to 111% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 111% above the HPI.
