ROSE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ROSE COTTAGE sales from September 1998 and February 2011 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 1998 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the February 2011 sale, where it rises to 100% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 100% above the HPI.
