HOLLY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thurrock local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four HOLLY COTTAGE sales between December 1996 and January 2015 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 January 2004 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
