ASH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lancaster local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ASH COTTAGE sales from October 1999 and September 2012 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 October 1999 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
