7 PORTMAN CLOSE 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 four 7 PORTMAN CLOSE sales between November 2001 and September 2017 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 2004 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI.
