PARK 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 two PARK COTTAGE sales from February 2014 and June 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 February 2014 sale was for 66% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% above the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it rises to 179% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 179% above the HPI.
