WINTER COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six WINTER COTTAGE sales between December 1996 and October 2022 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 December 2010 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it falls to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.
