31 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Epping Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 31 MERLIN CLOSE sales between November 1999 and December 2011 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 2005 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
