20 HEREFORD 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 four 20 HEREFORD DRIVE sales between April 2000 and May 2021 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 February 2017 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
