THE GARDENERS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE GARDENERS COTTAGE sales between February 1999 and November 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 1999 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
