THE FIRS 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 THE FIRS sales from June 1998 and April 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 June 1998 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.
