LONG THATCHES 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 LONG THATCHES sales between December 1999 and August 2010 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 2005 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.
