RED LION COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two RED LION COTTAGE sales from February 1997 and June 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 1997 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.
