6 MIDDLE DRIFT 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 three 6 MIDDLE DRIFT sales between July 2004 and March 2016 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 2008 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.
