The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE WISHING WELL COTTAGE sales from October 2014 and January 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 October 2014 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI.
