24 WESTBURY CLOSE 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 24 WESTBURY CLOSE sales from July 2012 and January 2022 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 2012 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
