21 MELBOURN ROAD 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 three 21 MELBOURN ROAD sales between October 1999 and June 2017 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 March 2001 sale was for 77% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 77% below the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
