5 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 three 5 BENSON CLOSE sales between February 1997 and February 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 August 2002 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the February 2006 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
