BLENCOWE HOUSE 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 five BLENCOWE HOUSE sales between August 1997 and July 2016 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 2010 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.
