44 BENSON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 44 BENSON CLOSE sales from June 1998 and May 2006 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 1998 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the May 2006 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI.
