5 BARN MEAD 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 five 5 BARN MEAD sales between March 1995 and July 2024 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 July 2015 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.
