SHIRE 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 three SHIRE COTTAGE sales between July 2005 and January 2021 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 2012 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
