26 HITCHIN ROAD 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 26 HITCHIN ROAD sales from October 2006 and December 2017 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 October 2006 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.
