229 HEMPSTEAD ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 229 HEMPSTEAD ROAD sales between July 1999 and August 2021 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 October 2011 sale was for 144% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 144% above the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it falls to 103% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 103% above the HPI.
