THE BIRCHES 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 THE BIRCHES sales from January 2007 and May 2017 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 January 2007 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
