5 MEADOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 MEADOW CLOSE sales from October 2011 and December 2024 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 2011 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI.
