FERN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Staffordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FERN COTTAGE sales from August 1995 and November 1999 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 1995 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the November 1999 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.
