8 MERLIN WAY 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 MERLIN WAY sales between October 1998 and November 2003 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 2000 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
