THE BIRCHES 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 THE BIRCHES sales between June 1997 and February 2020 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 January 2001 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it rises to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.
