52 LUCAS LANE 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 52 LUCAS LANE sales from April 2008 and February 2018 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 April 2008 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
