THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE COTTAGE sales between September 1995 and October 2018 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 July 2003 sale was for 98% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 98% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.
