RYGGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Surrey Heath local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three RYGGE COTTAGE sales between December 1995 and July 2015 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 June 2015 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, which was also at 33% above the HPI.
