2 MELVERLEY 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 2 MELVERLEY DRIVE sales from April 2002 and September 2008 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 April 2002 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the September 2008 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.

What might 2 MELVERLEY DRIVE be worth now?
