BRIAR COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Malvern Hills local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BRIAR COTTAGE sales between November 1995 and August 2019 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 March 2010 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
