53 HIGHFIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 53 HIGHFIELD sales between March 1999 and December 2020 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 June 2013 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.
