ACORN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Malvern Hills local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ACORN COTTAGE sales from April 2004 and March 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 April 2004 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
