LOWER FARM 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 LOWER FARM COTTAGE sales from June 1998 and November 2003 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 1998 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.
