BELL COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Epping Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BELL COTTAGE sales from May 2018 and March 2021 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 May 2018 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.
