58 GAPING LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 58 GAPING LANE sales between July 1998 and October 2016 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 2008 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 66% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 66% above the HPI.

What might 58 GAPING LANE be worth now?
