16 MERTON DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

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 two 16 MERTON DRIVE sales from October 2012 and June 2022 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 2012 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the June 2022 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.
