POOL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three POOL COTTAGE sales between August 2001 and September 2018 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 November 2003 sale was for 115% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 115% above the HPI over time, until the September 2018 sale, where it rises to 130% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 130% above the HPI.
