8 GENTIAN 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 8 GENTIAN CLOSE sales between February 2001 and July 2013 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 December 2002 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
