8 HOWLAND CLOSE 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 8 HOWLAND CLOSE sales from December 2014 and July 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 December 2014 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
