50 MERTON DRIVE 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 50 MERTON DRIVE sales from January 1997 and December 2014 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 January 1997 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
