FOREFIELD VILLA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four FOREFIELD VILLA sales between July 2003 and July 2023 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 June 2016 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
