38 SKIMPANS 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 two 38 SKIMPANS CLOSE sales from July 2007 and March 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 July 2007 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI.
