BURN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the County Durham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five BURN COTTAGE sales between January 1997 and December 2020 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 2015 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 148% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 148% above the HPI.
