FIRTREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bromley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four FIRTREE COTTAGE sales between November 2004 and October 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 October 2007 sale was for 109% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 109% above the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it rises to 130% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 130% above the HPI.
