26 LAPWING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 26 LAPWING CLOSE sales between August 1995 and April 2025 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 October 2015 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the April 2025 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
