MOUNT TOR Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four MOUNT TOR sales between February 2001 and April 2014 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 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.
