3 BENNETT CLOSE 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 3 BENNETT CLOSE sales between January 1998 and August 2006 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 May 2000 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the August 2006 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI.
