ELM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Epping Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ELM COTTAGE sales from July 2016 and August 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 2016 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
