16 HOWARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hertsmere local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 HOWARD CLOSE sales from June 1997 and April 2000 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 1997 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the April 2000 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
