CHESTNUT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four CHESTNUT COTTAGE sales between November 1997 and September 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 March 2013 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, which was also at 34% below the HPI.
