The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LITTLE TOLPITS COTTAGE sales between October 1995 and October 2024 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 June 2015 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
