3 HORNBEAM CLOSE 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 3 HORNBEAM CLOSE sales from January 2021 and August 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 2021 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.
