CROFT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Oldham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CROFT COTTAGE sales from August 2000 and November 2001 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 August 2000 sale was for 110% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 110% above the HPI over time, until the November 2001 sale, where it rises to 123% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 123% above the HPI.
