The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 ESSEX ROAD sales from March 2006 and December 2014 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 2006 sale was for 63% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% below the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI.
