40 BARKHILL 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 three 40 BARKHILL ROAD sales between July 1995 and December 2017 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 June 1997 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 40 BARKHILL ROAD be worth now?
