SWAN TOWER COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Warwick local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SWAN TOWER COTTAGE sales from May 1996 and April 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 May 1996 sale was for 50% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% above the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it falls to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might SWAN TOWER COTTAGE be worth now?
