LONGMEAD 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 LONGMEAD sales from August 2005 and May 2020 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 2005 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it falls to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.
