MERRYFIELDS 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 MERRYFIELDS sales from November 1995 and November 1997 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 November 1995 sale was for 110% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 110% above the HPI over time, until the November 1997 sale, where it falls to 101% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 101% above the HPI.
