FOREST COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reigate and Banstead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four FOREST COTTAGE sales between September 1996 and November 2010 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 2003 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the November 2010 sale, where it rises to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.
