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 HIGHFIELDS sales from February 1997 and September 1998 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 February 1997 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the September 1998 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.
