THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from January 2007 and October 2014 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 January 2007 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.
