THE OLD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE OLD COTTAGE sales between August 1998 and May 2006 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 July 2002 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the May 2006 sale, where it rises to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.
