38 DIGSWELL ROAD 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 two 38 DIGSWELL ROAD sales from April 2003 and July 2015 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 April 2003 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 38 DIGSWELL ROAD be worth now?
