SOUTH DOWNS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Trafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SOUTH DOWNS COTTAGE sales from March 1998 and January 2022 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 March 1998 sale was for 373% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 373% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to 206% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 206% above the HPI.
