23 LAMB CLOSE 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 23 LAMB CLOSE sales between February 2002 and February 2019 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 June 2003 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.
