1 OLD ORCHARD 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 five 1 OLD ORCHARD sales between August 1996 and March 2020 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 November 2015 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it rises to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.
