THE LITTLE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE LITTLE COTTAGE sales between July 1999 and June 2015 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 2007 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
