PURLEY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three PURLEY COTTAGE sales between October 1997 and June 2022 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 March 1999 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the June 2022 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.
