SWIFT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SWIFT COTTAGE sales between September 1996 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 December 2020 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.
