MAY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MAY COTTAGE sales from July 2013 and January 2018 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 July 2013 sale was for 64% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% below the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it rises to 56% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% below the HPI.
