DUCK DOWN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three DUCK DOWN COTTAGE sales between July 1996 and March 2016 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 2000 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, which was also at 38% above the HPI.
