ROSE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ROSE COTTAGE sales between July 1995 and December 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 December 2003 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.
