1 DENSLEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 DENSLEY CLOSE sales from May 2001 and March 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 May 2001 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it rises to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.
