THE GATE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hart local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE GATE COTTAGE sales between October 1996 and December 2003 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 August 2002 sale was for 86% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 86% above the HPI over time, until the December 2003 sale, where it falls to 64% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 64% above the HPI.
