12 ACHILLES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 ACHILLES CLOSE sales from December 2012 and October 2017 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 December 2012 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 12 ACHILLES CLOSE be worth now?
