THE LAURELS 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 four THE LAURELS sales between September 2002 and August 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 2010 sale was for 119% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 119% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.
