APRIL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two APRIL COTTAGE sales from July 2012 and December 2018 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 2012 sale was for 74% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 74% above the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it rises to 81% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 81% above the HPI.
