PLUM TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two PLUM TREE COTTAGE sales from October 1999 and June 2010 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 October 1999 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
