The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 78 BIRCH AVENUE sales between September 1999 and February 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 August 2016 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI.
