5 THE BRAMBLES 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 three 5 THE BRAMBLES sales between October 1997 and October 2012 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 March 2002 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, which was also at 31% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE BRAMBLES be worth now?
