40 GAGE 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 four 40 GAGE CLOSE sales between July 1996 and July 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 December 2009 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.
