126 THE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 126 THE DRIVE sales from June 2011 and November 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 June 2011 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it falls to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.
