BLENHEIM 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 three BLENHEIM COTTAGE sales between December 1999 and July 2018 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 2003 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
