5 GIBSON CLOSE 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 5 GIBSON CLOSE sales from September 1996 and November 2009 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 September 1996 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the November 2009 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.
