SWAINS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SWAINS COTTAGE sales between November 1998 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 January 2000 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.
