VIRGINIA LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire East local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three VIRGINIA LODGE sales between February 1997 and October 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 March 2010 sale was for 61% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 247% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 247% above the HPI.
