THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Newport local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE COTTAGE sales between November 1997 and March 2023 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 May 2020 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.
