44 DIGSWELL RISE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 44 DIGSWELL RISE sales between October 1996 and December 2020 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 2006 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 44 DIGSWELL RISE be worth now?
