MELROSE 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 three MELROSE sales between November 1996 and June 2021 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 October 1999 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
