2 WHELPS COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basildon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 WHELPS COTTAGES sales from October 2004 and August 2006 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 October 2004 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the August 2006 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 2 WHELPS COTTAGES be worth now?
