40 BARLEYCROFT 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 40 BARLEYCROFT ROAD sales from November 1996 and May 2007 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 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, where it falls to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might 40 BARLEYCROFT ROAD be worth now?
