138 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 138 BENSLOW LANE sales between August 2000 and August 2022 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 July 2009 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
