The below table shows the price paid for the three sales, along with the average detached price in the Uttlesford local authority area for the corresponding sale date.

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 HIGHFIELDS sales between December 1999 and July 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 July 2001 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
