The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 BARKER CLOSE sales from April 2006 and July 2016 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 April 2006 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.
