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 LUDWELL CLOSE sales from July 2010 and July 2010 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the July 2010 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, which was also at 9% below the HPI.

What might 5 LUDWELL CLOSE be worth now?
