THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from November 2007 and November 2022 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 November 2007 sale was for 63% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.
