COTTAGE ACRE 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 three COTTAGE ACRE sales between June 2007 and March 2014 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 October 2008 sale was for 61% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% above the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it falls to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.
