LETTERBOX COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LETTERBOX COTTAGE sales from September 1997 and September 2001 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 September 1997 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the September 2001 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.
