THE LAURELS 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 three THE LAURELS sales between January 2001 and December 2006 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 2003 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the December 2006 sale, which was also at 28% above the HPI.
