THE GARDEN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE GARDEN COTTAGE sales from November 2003 and June 2018 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 November 2003 sale was for 71% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% above the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.
