CATHERINE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maldon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three CATHERINE COTTAGE sales between August 2011 and December 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 July 2014 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it rises to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.
