THATCHED COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THATCHED COTTAGE sales between October 2004 and August 2024 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 June 2021 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
