THE OLD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Herefordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD COTTAGE sales from September 2014 and November 2015 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 September 2014 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
