1 LAURELSFIELD 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 three 1 LAURELSFIELD sales between August 2007 and September 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 February 2016 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.
