FERN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bath and North East Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FERN COTTAGE sales between July 1998 and June 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 July 2002 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
