COLUMBINE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average
The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two COLUMBINE COTTAGE sales from May 2000 and February 2013 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 May 2000 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the February 2013 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
