7 ORCHARDS 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 four 7 ORCHARDS sales between March 2000 and December 2010 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 March 2006 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the December 2010 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.
