51 MERLIN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 51 MERLIN WAY sales between September 2000 and June 2015 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 May 2006 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
