SANCTUARY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four SANCTUARY COTTAGE sales between July 2001 and August 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 April 2009 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
