THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bassetlaw local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COTTAGE sales between March 1995 and December 2000 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 January 2000 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the December 2000 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
