The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Halton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 278 BIRCHFIELD ROAD sales from January 1997 and March 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 January 1997 sale was for 63% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% above the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 80% above the HPI.
