27 BULRUSH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 27 BULRUSH CLOSE sales between June 2000 and August 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 March 2018 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.
