UPPER ORCHARD 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 UPPER ORCHARD sales from June 2012 and January 2015 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 2012 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.
