YEW TREE 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 YEW TREE COTTAGE sales from February 2015 and June 2021 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 February 2015 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
