7 HURST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 HURST CLOSE sales from May 2014 and July 2023 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 May 2014 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.
