4 MONKSWOOD 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 4 MONKSWOOD sales from November 1996 and January 2020 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 November 1996 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.
