3 COB LANE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 COB LANE CLOSE sales from April 1999 and February 2010 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 1999 sale was for 94% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 94% above the HPI over time, until the February 2010 sale, where it falls to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.
