The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 129 HOWARD DRIVE sales between May 2000 and May 2023 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 2017 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 42% below the HPI.
