The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BERRY COTTAGE sales between October 2004 and October 2021 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 August 2012 sale was for 56% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% above the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it rises to 74% above the HPI.
