THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lambeth local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COTTAGE sales between May 1997 and April 2011 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 March 2005 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the April 2011 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
