SCHOOL HOUSE 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 five SCHOOL HOUSE sales between May 1996 and November 2014 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 March 2014 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
