4 SHELLEY CLOSE 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 three 4 SHELLEY CLOSE sales between December 2003 and March 2008 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 2004 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the March 2008 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
