23 FORGE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cheshire East local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 23 FORGE LANE sales from July 2020 and January 2023 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 July 2020 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
