CHESTNUT 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 two CHESTNUT COTTAGE sales from October 1996 and November 2010 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 October 1996 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the November 2010 sale, where it rises to 102% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 102% above the HPI.
