WEIR COTTAGE 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 WEIR COTTAGE sales from August 2007 and May 2010 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 August 2007 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the May 2010 sale, where it rises to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.
