AUSTRAL FARM Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maldon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three AUSTRAL FARM sales between November 2005 and August 2023 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 October 2014 sale was for 71% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% above the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.
