STONE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two STONE COTTAGE sales from October 1997 and September 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 October 1997 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
