ORCHID COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ORCHID COTTAGE sales from August 1995 and August 1997 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 August 1995 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the August 1997 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
