HILLCOTE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mole Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HILLCOTE sales from August 2003 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 August 2003 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.
