The two 5 BARING GOULD COTTAGES sales from August 2006 and November 2008 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 2006 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the November 2008 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI.
