FERN 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 two FERN COTTAGE sales from December 2016 and December 2019 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 2016 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.
