WOOD SPRITE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WOOD SPRITE COTTAGE sales from October 2003 and July 2013 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 2003 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it rises to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.
