CHESTNUT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three CHESTNUT COTTAGE sales between August 1996 and August 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 November 2012 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
