3 HANDPOST LODGE GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 HANDPOST LODGE GARDENS sales from June 2001 and June 2012 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 June 2001 sale was for 102% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 102% above the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it falls to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.
