88 BLACKDOWN 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 three 88 BLACKDOWN CLOSE sales between April 2001 and April 2016 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 July 2014 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
