9 SAFFRON CLOSE 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 two 9 SAFFRON CLOSE sales from March 2000 and September 2014 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 2000 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.
