9 THE REEDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 9 THE REEDS sales between September 1995 and December 2009 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 2007 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 9 THE REEDS be worth now?
