FORGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FORGE COTTAGE sales from July 2008 and February 2016 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 2008 sale was for 66% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it rises to 94% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 94% above the HPI.
