GARDEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mole Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two GARDEN COTTAGE sales from April 2017 and December 2020 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 April 2017 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 88% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 88% above the HPI.
