3 HAWTHORN CLOSE 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 3 HAWTHORN CLOSE sales from September 2003 and April 2024 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 2003 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI.
