THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE COTTAGE sales between December 1995 and June 2016 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 September 2005 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it falls to 61% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 61% below the HPI.
