STAR COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three STAR COTTAGE sales between October 2005 and November 2018 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 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.
