CHAPEL 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 CHAPEL COTTAGE sales between April 1995 and June 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 August 2004 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
