ROSE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four ROSE COTTAGE sales between October 2000 and February 2019 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 February 2010 sale was for 117% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 117% above the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it falls to 82% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 82% above the HPI.
