The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Ribble Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WILLOW COTTAGE sales from July 2006 and September 2019 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 July 2006 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
