THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire East local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COTTAGE sales between July 1998 and July 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 June 2016 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
