RIVER COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three RIVER COTTAGE sales between May 2001 and February 2016 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 2002 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
