21 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 21 BENSON CLOSE sales from June 1995 and December 2003 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 June 1995 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the December 2003 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
