THE DOWER HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE DOWER HOUSE sales between January 1998 and July 2014 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 August 2009 sale was for 827% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 827% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 532% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 532% above the HPI.
