2 KINGS DOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 KINGS DOWN sales between September 2001 and November 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 November 2009 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI.
