12 MERDLE SQUARE 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 12 MERDLE SQUARE sales from November 2000 and November 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 November 2000 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
