THATCH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dover local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THATCH COTTAGE sales from October 2012 and November 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 October 2012 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it falls to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.
