GARDEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four GARDEN COTTAGE sales between April 2001 and October 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 October 2014 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.
