HOPE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Waverley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HOPE COTTAGE sales between May 1996 and May 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 May 2009 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
