ASH COTTAGE 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 ASH COTTAGE sales from June 2018 and August 2019 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 June 2018 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.
