The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 172 LONGCROFT LANE sales from May 1995 and July 2015 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 May 1995 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI.
