The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 3 LONGFELLOW CLOSE sales between March 1997 and July 2012 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the July 2008 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI.
