The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 TOWNSEND CLOSE sales from March 1998 and April 2000 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 1998 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the April 2000 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI.
