CROWN 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 CROWN COTTAGE sales from June 2004 and December 2012 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 June 2004 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the December 2012 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.
