BIRCH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four BIRCH COTTAGE sales between November 2001 and March 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 October 2013 sale was for 43% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% above the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.
