26 CHESTNUT WALK 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 three 26 CHESTNUT WALK sales between August 2001 and March 2021 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 September 2016 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 26 CHESTNUT WALK be worth now?
