43 SAMPHIRE 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 six 43 SAMPHIRE CLOSE sales between January 2002 and December 2020 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 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, which was also at 48% below the HPI.
