ROCK 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 four ROCK COTTAGE sales between October 2002 and October 2015 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 July 2011 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.
