LAUREL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LAUREL COTTAGE sales between March 1995 and December 2015 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 1999 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.
