THIMBLE COTTAGE 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 four THIMBLE COTTAGE sales between June 2002 and July 2007 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 January 2007 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the July 2007 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
