5 GAYTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 GAYTON CLOSE sales from February 1999 and June 2020 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 February 1999 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the June 2020 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
