APRIL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four APRIL COTTAGE sales between January 2007 and June 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 July 2018 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the June 2020 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
