OLD POST COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three OLD POST COTTAGE sales between January 2011 and November 2017 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 April 2014 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it rises to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.
