259 HERONSWOOD ROAD 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 two 259 HERONSWOOD ROAD sales from August 2002 and May 2009 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 August 2002 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the May 2009 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
