1 BLAKE CLOSE 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 six 1 BLAKE CLOSE sales between May 1997 and March 2024 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 March 2021 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
