THE FIRS 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 two THE FIRS sales from September 1996 and June 2006 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 1996 sale was for 56% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% above the HPI over time, until the June 2006 sale, where it rises to 66% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 66% above the HPI.
