15 TOWNSEND CLOSE 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 three 15 TOWNSEND CLOSE sales between August 1997 and August 2022 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 June 2002 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.
