The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 16 BUTTERBUR CLOSE sales between September 1997 and February 2015 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the October 2001 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the February 2015 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI.
