MOLE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stroud local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MOLE COTTAGE sales from November 2000 and July 2017 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 2000 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
