STOCKSMEAD 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 STOCKSMEAD sales between November 1996 and August 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 August 1999 sale was for 103% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 103% above the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 111% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 111% above the HPI.
