MAYS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MAYS COTTAGE sales from May 2018 and July 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 May 2018 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 98% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 98% above the HPI.
