THE 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 THE COTTAGE sales from April 2009 and August 2020 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 April 2009 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
