23 THE SHAWS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 23 THE SHAWS sales between October 1999 and January 2014 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 July 2008 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.

What might 23 THE SHAWS be worth now?
