OBSERVATORY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OBSERVATORY COTTAGE sales from December 1996 and March 2021 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 December 1996 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.
