8 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 three 8 ORCHARDS sales between May 2002 and May 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 November 2002 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the May 2010 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.
