MOLE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MOLE COTTAGE sales between May 1996 and June 2008 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 1997 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the June 2008 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
