15 BEDFORD CLOSE 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 15 BEDFORD CLOSE sales between October 1996 and August 2021 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 2016 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
