HARVEST 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 five HARVEST COTTAGE sales between January 1997 and February 2017 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 April 2008 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
