FIR COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maldon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIR COTTAGE sales from August 2009 and November 2018 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 2009 sale was for 120% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 120% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it falls to 67% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% above the HPI.
