WHITE 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 three WHITE COTTAGE sales between April 1997 and August 2020 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 1998 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
