THE ORCHARDS 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 ORCHARDS sales from June 2000 and October 2024 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 2000 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it rises to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.
