4 CONVENT LANE 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 two 4 CONVENT LANE sales from December 2009 and September 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 December 2009 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.
