2 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 three 2 BEDFORD CLOSE sales between June 2001 and October 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 June 2006 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI.
