HERON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Woking local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four HERON COTTAGE sales between December 1996 and January 2023 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 2011 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.
