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 THE LAWNS sales from March 2002 and August 2022 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 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI.
