5 LAMB CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 LAMB CLOSE sales from October 1997 and February 2006 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 October 1997 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the February 2006 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
