APRIL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four APRIL COTTAGE sales between February 1999 and May 2019 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 2014 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it falls to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.
