2 GENTIAN 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 four 2 GENTIAN CLOSE sales between December 2000 and August 2020 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 May 2012 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.
