31 THE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 31 THE CROFT sales from September 2001 and February 2018 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 September 2001 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
