30 MERLING CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 30 MERLING CROFT sales between May 1996 and December 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 July 2007 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the December 2010 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
