BLUE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BLUE COTTAGE sales from September 1997 and March 2016 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 1997 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, which was also at 10% below the HPI.
