2 DOUGLAS 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 two 2 DOUGLAS CLOSE sales from August 2003 and November 2006 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 2003 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the November 2006 sale, where it falls to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might 2 DOUGLAS CLOSE be worth now?
