4 VALE ROYAL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 VALE ROYAL CLOSE sales from November 2015 and December 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 November 2015 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.
