HOPE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Brentwood local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HOPE COTTAGE sales between August 2007 and May 2015 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 September 2010 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.
