CANDLELIGHT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five CANDLELIGHT COTTAGE sales between March 1999 and May 2022 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 2019 sale was for 59% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% below the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it rises to 53% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% below the HPI.
