BAY COTTAGE 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 five BAY COTTAGE sales between October 1999 and December 2020 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 April 2018 sale was for 59% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 55% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% below the HPI.
