FEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FEN COTTAGE sales between August 1999 and February 2018 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 April 2008 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
