53 BENSLOW RISE 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 53 BENSLOW RISE sales from August 2016 and January 2023 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 August 2016 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.
