FORGE 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 five FORGE COTTAGE sales between April 2001 and July 2019 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 2018 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.
