BRIDGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BRIDGE COTTAGE sales between February 2001 and April 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 2006 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the April 2012 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
