15 BENNETT 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 BENNETT CLOSE sales between November 2007 and January 2016 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 December 2014 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
