The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Epping Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 FOREST LANE sales between December 2002 and June 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 April 2005 sale was for 177% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 177% above the HPI over time, until the June 2006 sale, which was also at 177% above the HPI.
