HOLLOW COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HOLLOW COTTAGE sales from April 1999 and May 2014 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 1999 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
