42 TANNERY DRIFT 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 two 42 TANNERY DRIFT sales from February 1997 and September 2007 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 February 1997 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the September 2007 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
