LAUREL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Hams local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LAUREL COTTAGE sales between December 2001 and October 2018 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 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.
