15 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Epping Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 MERLIN CLOSE sales from February 2008 and January 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 February 2008 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the January 2013 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.
