The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 BARLEYCROFT ROAD sales between November 2002 and July 2024 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the September 2012 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI.
