3 DOWNLANDS 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 3 DOWNLANDS sales between July 2001 and June 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 November 2010 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, which was also at 16% above the HPI.
