BROOK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stratford-on-Avon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BROOK COTTAGE sales from April 1998 and January 2021 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 April 1998 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
