POPLAR COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two POPLAR COTTAGE sales from December 2005 and May 2016 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 December 2005 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.
