The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 72 BEDFORD ROAD sales from May 2007 and August 2020 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the May 2007 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI.
