3 WOOD 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 WOOD CLOSE sales between April 1998 and May 2014 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 March 2006 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 61% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 61% below the HPI.
