The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 59 THE GARDENS sales between February 1998 and March 2012 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 October 1998 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.
