SPRING 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 two SPRING COTTAGE sales from May 2019 and December 2019 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 May 2019 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
