LOVEGROVE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three LOVEGROVE COTTAGE sales between December 2005 and February 2014 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 2007 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.
