THATCHOVER Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THATCHOVER sales from May 1998 and April 2004 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 1998 sale was for 87% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 87% above the HPI over time, until the April 2004 sale, where it falls to 73% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 73% above the HPI.
