GARDEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three GARDEN COTTAGE sales between July 1996 and April 2002 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 1997 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the April 2002 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
