PEAR TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four PEAR TREE COTTAGE sales between September 1996 and August 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 November 2006 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
