5 SCHOOL LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 SCHOOL LANE sales from December 1997 and August 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 December 1997 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
