17 CLOUDED YELLOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 17 CLOUDED YELLOW CLOSE sales between December 1995 and December 2022 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 September 2016 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
