VINE 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 VINE COTTAGE sales from March 1997 and October 2003 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 1997 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the October 2003 sale, where it rises to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.
