BROOKSIDE 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 five BROOKSIDE COTTAGE sales between May 2002 and September 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 December 2011 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
