MEADOW SWEET COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MEADOW SWEET COTTAGE sales from September 2006 and May 2022 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 2006 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might MEADOW SWEET COTTAGE be worth now?
