BROOK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BROOK COTTAGE sales from August 1995 and October 1997 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 1995 sale was for 81% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 81% above the HPI over time, until the October 1997 sale, where it rises to 96% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 96% above the HPI.
