FOREST 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 five FOREST COTTAGE sales between April 2001 and September 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 September 2008 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.
