HILLTOP 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 HILLTOP COTTAGE sales from March 2007 and August 2016 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 2007 sale was for 115% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 115% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 61% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 61% below the HPI.
