70 MEADOWBANK 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 70 MEADOWBANK sales between June 2000 and April 2024 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 August 2013 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
