7 BIRCHALL WOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 7 BIRCHALL WOOD sales between March 1998 and March 2022 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 November 2012 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it rises to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 7 BIRCHALL WOOD be worth now?
