MERRYTHOUGHT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reigate and Banstead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four MERRYTHOUGHT COTTAGE sales between May 2007 and September 2021 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 November 2014 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.
