FERN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Westmorland and Furness local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FERN COTTAGE sales from October 2017 and August 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 October 2017 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
