THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from July 1995 and May 2006 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 July 1995 sale was for 101% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 101% above the HPI over time, until the May 2006 sale, where it rises to 103% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 103% above the HPI.
