8 RANSOM 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 two 8 RANSOM CLOSE sales from April 1998 and August 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 April 1998 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
