HIGHER LANE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHER LANE COTTAGE sales from April 1998 and June 2012 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 1998 sale was for 82% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 82% above the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it rises to 88% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 88% above the HPI.
