HIGH TREES 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 HIGH TREES sales from July 2010 and October 2018 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 2010 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.
