GALES COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swindon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three GALES COTTAGE sales between April 2003 and November 2015 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 August 2009 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it rises to 73% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 73% above the HPI.
