The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 57 BENSLOW LANE sales from November 2013 and August 2018 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the November 2013 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 46% above the HPI.
