16 WEST HILL 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 16 WEST HILL sales between November 1999 and October 2013 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 2000 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it falls to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.
