31 SCHOOL LANE 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 31 SCHOOL LANE sales between August 2001 and March 2021 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 2002 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.
