LEIGH 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 three LEIGH COTTAGE sales between November 1996 and January 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 August 2004 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.
