DOWN AMPNEY 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 two DOWN AMPNEY sales from March 1997 and August 2014 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 1997 sale was for 126% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 126% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.
