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 March 2020 and December 2023 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 March 2020 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it rises to 95% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 95% above the HPI.
