HOLLY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HOLLY COTTAGE sales from March 2003 and November 2011 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 March 2003 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
