HILLTOP 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 two HILLTOP COTTAGE sales from October 1995 and January 2020 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 October 1995 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
