IVY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two IVY COTTAGE sales from July 1998 and February 2010 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 1998 sale was for 96% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 96% above the HPI over time, until the February 2010 sale, where it falls to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.
