THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from June 2010 and September 2012 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 2010 sale was for 73% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it rises to 80% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 80% above the HPI.
