13 BENSON CLOSE 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 two 13 BENSON CLOSE sales from November 1996 and January 2000 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 November 1996 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the January 2000 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
