VALLEY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two VALLEY COTTAGE sales from June 2001 and July 2012 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 June 2001 sale was for 135% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 135% above the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it rises to 142% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 142% above the HPI.
