The three BACKFIELDS COTTAGE sales between January 1999 and March 2015 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 September 2009 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, which was also at 12% above the HPI.
