The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 17 BLUEBELLS sales between May 1999 and August 2023 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 August 2011 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
