42 CONQUEST 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 two 42 CONQUEST CLOSE sales from June 2010 and December 2019 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 June 2010 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 42 CONQUEST CLOSE be worth now?
