40 WEST HILL 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 40 WEST HILL sales between November 2006 and June 2016 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 2007 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.
