MOUNT 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 three MOUNT COTTAGE sales between October 1999 and September 2009 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 2008 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.
