COWMEAD COTTAGE 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 four COWMEAD COTTAGE sales between March 2007 and February 2022 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 December 2015 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it rises to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.
