5 PIRTON 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 PIRTON CLOSE sales from September 2011 and November 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 September 2011 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
