34 ELGAR 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 34 ELGAR DRIVE sales between May 2003 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 September 2017 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, which was also at 41% below the HPI.
