HOLME COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HOLME COTTAGE sales from August 1995 and June 1996 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 1995 sale was for 55% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% below the HPI over time, until the June 1996 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.
