2 WEST LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

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 WEST LANE sales from April 2011 and February 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 April 2011 sale was for 43% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% above the HPI over time, until the February 2015 sale, where it falls to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.
