The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 ECHO HILL sales from August 2007 and May 2011 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 2007 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.
