The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 NORTHAMPTON CLOSE sales between October 2000 and February 2016 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the June 2002 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, which was also at 7% below the HPI.
