CHESS BANK HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CHESS BANK HOUSE sales from February 1995 and August 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 February 1995 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.
