PROSPECT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lichfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two PROSPECT COTTAGE sales from November 2005 and April 2009 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 2005 sale was for 103% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 103% above the HPI over time, until the April 2009 sale, where it falls to 66% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 66% above the HPI.
