THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from August 1997 and April 2001 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 1997 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the April 2001 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.
