4 WEST DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 4 WEST DRIVE sales between August 1996 and August 2013 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 August 2006 sale was for 68% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% below the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it falls to 72% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 72% below the HPI.
