THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the City of Bristol local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE COTTAGE sales from August 2007 and March 2013 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 2007 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the March 2013 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
