CARETAKERS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CARETAKERS COTTAGE sales from October 2012 and April 2017 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 2012 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
