The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 59 BENSLOW LANE sales from August 2003 and July 2024 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 2003 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 81% above the HPI.
