QUEENS 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 two QUEENS COTTAGE sales from February 1996 and May 2018 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 February 1996 sale was for 87% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 87% below the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it rises to 62% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% below the HPI.
