KELSO COTTAGE 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 three KELSO COTTAGE sales between January 2000 and October 2017 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 May 2005 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
