43 MELVERLEY DRIVE 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 43 MELVERLEY DRIVE sales from August 1999 and October 2015 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 August 1999 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 43 MELVERLEY DRIVE be worth now?
