SWALLOWS BARN 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 SWALLOWS BARN sales from June 2002 and May 2004 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 June 2002 sale was for 153% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 153% above the HPI over time, until the May 2004 sale, where it falls to 132% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 132% above the HPI.
