FIR COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Waverley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FIR COTTAGE sales between January 1997 and August 2013 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 December 2004 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, which was also at 2% below the HPI.
