4A THE DRIVE 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 4A THE DRIVE sales between September 1995 and April 2012 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 May 2000 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the April 2012 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
