The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hertsmere local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 THE BIRCHES sales between March 1995 and February 2015 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 January 2006 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the February 2015 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
