THE BLACKBIRDS 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 three THE BLACKBIRDS sales between December 1996 and October 2019 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 2017 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.
