30 KINGS DOWN 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 30 KINGS DOWN sales from June 2009 and May 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 June 2009 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 30 KINGS DOWN be worth now?
