THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from December 1996 and July 2012 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 December 1996 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it rises to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.
