The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 41 MERLIN WAY sales from March 1996 and November 2014 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 March 1996 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, which was also at 12% below the HPI.
