SWINTON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Woking local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SWINTON COTTAGE sales from December 1999 and November 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 December 1999 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
