WATSONS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chorley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WATSONS COTTAGE sales from November 1999 and October 2017 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 November 1999 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it rises to 92% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 92% above the HPI.
