THE WHITE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE WHITE COTTAGE sales from September 2002 and July 2004 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 September 2002 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the July 2004 sale, where it rises to 68% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 68% above the HPI.
