CLAIRE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four CLAIRE COTTAGE sales between June 2001 and April 2021 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 July 2019 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
