FORGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FORGE COTTAGE sales from December 1999 and November 2018 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 1999 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it rises to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.
