ROSE 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 ROSE COTTAGE sales from August 1999 and August 2003 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 August 1999 sale was for 60% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% below the HPI over time, until the August 2003 sale, where it rises to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.
