1 GARDEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 GARDEN CLOSE sales between December 1999 and December 2021 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 September 2014 sale was for 148% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 148% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 155% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 155% above the HPI.
