ORCHARD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Huntingdonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ORCHARD COTTAGE sales between December 2004 and December 2013 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 September 2007 sale was for 151% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 151% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 140% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 140% above the HPI.
