2 POSTMILL DRIVE 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 2 POSTMILL DRIVE sales from May 2010 and January 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 May 2010 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it falls to 48% below the HPI.
