THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the High Peak local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE COTTAGE sales between July 1998 and July 2017 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 2000 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
