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 three APRIL COTTAGE sales between May 2003 and August 2017 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 June 2012 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
