ROOKERY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ROOKERY COTTAGE sales from March 1997 and July 2007 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 March 1997 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the July 2007 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.
