GARDENERS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three GARDENERS COTTAGE sales between March 2004 and September 2021 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 2006 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
