ROCK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four ROCK COTTAGE sales between September 1995 and August 2015 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 September 2013 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.
