RAINBOW 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 RAINBOW COTTAGE sales from February 2007 and October 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 2007 sale was for 66% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.
