HOLLY TREE 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 HOLLY TREE COTTAGE sales from April 2005 and September 2024 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 April 2005 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it rises to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might HOLLY TREE COTTAGE be worth now?
