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 ORCHARD COTTAGE sales between August 2016 and July 2024 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 March 2021 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.
