156 CHURCH LANE 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 two 156 CHURCH LANE sales from November 2015 and May 2018 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 2015 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.
