READING ROOM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Hams local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three READING ROOM COTTAGE sales between October 2000 and August 2011 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 2003 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it falls to 55% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% below the HPI.
