VALE 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 VALE COTTAGE sales from January 2007 and February 2023 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 January 2007 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it rises to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.
