THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE 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 THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE sales from November 2011 and October 2015 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 November 2011 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 77% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 77% above the HPI.
