DOLPHIN 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 four DOLPHIN COTTAGE sales between September 2000 and October 2020 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 2007 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.
