15 BARN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 15 BARN CLOSE sales between May 2000 and January 2018 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 2006 sale was for 56% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% above the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
