THE OLDE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLDE COTTAGE sales from April 2002 and June 2020 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 April 2002 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the June 2020 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
