5 WHEATBARN 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 three 5 WHEATBARN sales between April 2004 and September 2017 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 2010 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.
