FERN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chorley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FERN COTTAGE sales between February 2000 and February 2022 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 September 2017 sale was for 151% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 151% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 84% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 84% below the HPI.
