The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 297 BIRCHANGER LANE sales between November 1997 and January 2024 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 2022 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.
