FIRTREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIRTREE COTTAGE sales from April 1997 and August 2012 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 April 1997 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
