THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The seven THE COTTAGE sales between October 1996 and March 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 August 2014 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it falls to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.
