4 GEORGE GENT CLOSE 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 three 4 GEORGE GENT CLOSE sales between October 1995 and October 2012 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 January 1999 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
