4 PUFFIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basildon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 PUFFIN CLOSE sales between May 2001 and October 2022 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 March 2018 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it rises to 42% below the HPI.
