10 MAGNA 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 two 10 MAGNA CLOSE sales from July 2015 and February 2022 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 2015 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
