HOPPERS BARN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HOPPERS BARN sales from July 2002 and March 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 2002 sale was for 84% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 84% above the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it rises to 94% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 94% above the HPI.
