LILAC COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LILAC COTTAGE sales from December 1997 and October 2006 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 December 1997 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the October 2006 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.
