THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Lindsey local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COTTAGE sales between September 1997 and January 2024 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 August 2020 sale was for 84% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 84% above the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 98% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 98% above the HPI.
