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 WHETSTONE CLOSE sales from November 2008 and March 2016 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the November 2008 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI.
