THE OLD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE OLD COTTAGE sales between September 1996 and December 2022 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 2013 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it rises to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.
