8 COWSLIP 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 8 COWSLIP CLOSE sales between May 2000 and February 2020 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 October 2014 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI.
