40 HIGHFIELD 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 two 40 HIGHFIELD sales from March 2015 and April 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 March 2015 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the April 2020 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.
