FIR TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FIR TREE COTTAGE sales between June 1998 and April 2023 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 July 2004 sale was for 93% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 93% above the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it rises to 97% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 97% above the HPI.
