The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 MEADOW CLOSE sales between September 1996 and November 2012 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 2004 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
