10B TOWNSEND ROAD 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 10B TOWNSEND ROAD sales from September 2006 and July 2014 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 2006 sale was for 160% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 160% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 149% above the HPI.
