LONGCROFT 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 two LONGCROFT sales from January 2013 and March 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 January 2013 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.
