124 BENSLOW LANE 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 124 BENSLOW LANE sales between January 1998 and December 2020 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 September 2005 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.
