25 GRANGE 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 25 GRANGE CLOSE sales from April 1995 and July 2020 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 April 1995 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, which was also at 30% below the HPI.

What might 25 GRANGE CLOSE be worth now?
