42 LONGCROFT GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 42 LONGCROFT GARDENS sales from November 1996 and August 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 November 1996 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.
