3 MELBOURNE ROAD 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 MELBOURNE ROAD sales from December 1995 and July 2019 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 December 1995 sale was for 57% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% below the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 63% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 63% below the HPI.
