WEST 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 WEST COTTAGE sales from November 2015 and March 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 2015 sale was for 97% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 97% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 107% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 107% above the HPI.
