43 GAPING LANE 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 43 GAPING LANE sales from April 2010 and November 2014 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 April 2010 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.
