FIR TREE 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 four FIR TREE COTTAGE sales between December 2001 and February 2021 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 2013 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
