APPLE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two APPLE COTTAGE sales from January 2012 and August 2023 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 2012 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.
