1 MERECROFT 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 three 1 MERECROFT sales between July 2000 and September 2015 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 February 2007 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.
