12 MEADWAY 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 four 12 MEADWAY sales between November 1999 and April 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 June 2007 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.
