RIVER COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three RIVER COTTAGE sales between October 1996 and March 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 2009 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
