1 POSTMILL DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 POSTMILL DRIVE sales between October 2004 and December 2017 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 December 2015 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
