5 BEEHIVE LANE 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 five 5 BEEHIVE LANE sales between July 1997 and May 2011 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 January 2007 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 5 BEEHIVE LANE be worth now?
