BLACKBOARD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BLACKBOARD COTTAGE sales from August 2002 and October 2017 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 2002 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.
