17 LONGCROFT GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 17 LONGCROFT GARDENS sales between June 1996 and December 2011 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 2004 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.
