THE MAPLES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE MAPLES sales between June 2012 and July 2025 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 May 2016 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the July 2025 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.
