The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three NORTHBROOK COTTAGE sales between September 1995 and February 2021 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the April 2003 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.
