The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 SCHOOL LANE sales from March 1997 and October 2023 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 March 1997 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
