The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 12 WHIMBREL CLOSE sales between December 2002 and November 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 October 2013 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.
