The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maldon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 RAILWAY COTTAGES sales from May 2002 and March 2016 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 2002 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI.
