NEW BIRCHELLS 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 three NEW BIRCHELLS sales between November 2007 and May 2021 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 2015 sale was for 61% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% above the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it rises to 126% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 126% above the HPI.
