28 KINGS DOWN 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 28 KINGS DOWN sales between May 1995 and February 2025 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 April 2018 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the February 2025 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
