The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 BENSON CLOSE sales between August 1999 and November 2013 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the January 2007 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI.
