7 BLAKE 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 three 7 BLAKE CLOSE sales between June 1995 and June 2018 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 October 2005 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, which was also at 45% below the HPI.

What might 7 BLAKE CLOSE be worth now?
