42 MELFORD DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Halton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 MELFORD DRIVE sales between April 1996 and December 2013 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 April 2013 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
