25 BESSEMER 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 three 25 BESSEMER CLOSE sales between July 2007 and July 2013 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 2009 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
