3 LONGCROFT GREEN 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 four 3 LONGCROFT GREEN sales between May 2002 and June 2018 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 2017 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.
