THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COTTAGE sales between November 2001 and April 2019 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 August 2009 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it falls to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.
