THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five THE COTTAGE sales between April 1997 and April 2011 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 May 2007 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the April 2011 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.
