THE 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 five THE COTTAGE sales between June 1999 and July 2016 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 2010 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it rises to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.
