5 COWSLIP CLOSE 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 5 COWSLIP CLOSE sales from November 1999 and February 2021 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 1999 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI.
