HITHER COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hertsmere local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HITHER COTTAGE sales between May 1997 and September 2006 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 June 1998 sale was for 168% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 168% above the HPI over time, until the September 2006 sale, where it falls to 121% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 121% above the HPI.
