The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 117 WATFORD ROAD sales from November 1997 and February 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 November 1997 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
