THE ROOKERY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chelmsford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ROOKERY sales from July 1998 and July 2009 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 July 1998 sale was for 94% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 94% above the HPI over time, until the July 2009 sale, where it falls to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.
