13 PORTMAN 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 four 13 PORTMAN CLOSE sales between April 1996 and March 2011 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 April 2003 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the March 2011 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
