MOUNT SCAR COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MOUNT SCAR COTTAGE sales from March 2016 and December 2023 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 March 2016 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it rises to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.
