BELL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BELL COTTAGE sales from September 2004 and December 2015 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 September 2004 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.
