COAST COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thanet local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two COAST COTTAGE sales from October 1995 and January 1999 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 1995 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the January 1999 sale, where it rises to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.
