BROOKS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rochford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BROOKS COTTAGE sales from March 2009 and November 2015 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 March 2009 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.
