THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COTTAGE sales between May 2004 and March 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 June 2010 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the March 2011 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.
