31 HIGHFIELDS MEAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chelmsford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 31 HIGHFIELDS MEAD sales between July 1997 and September 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 April 1998 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
