The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 97 LONGCROFT LANE sales between September 1996 and April 2012 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 September 2007 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the April 2012 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI.
