GRASSHOPPER COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sefton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two GRASSHOPPER COTTAGE sales from July 2000 and December 2017 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 July 2000 sale was for 100% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 100% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
