BRACKENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Brentwood local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BRACKENS sales between February 2004 and November 2020 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 2010 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
