THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from October 2012 and November 2020 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 October 2012 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.
