THE OLD POST OFFICE 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 four THE OLD POST OFFICE sales between June 2000 and September 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 April 2012 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.
