The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 137 WATLING STREET sales from January 2002 and February 2017 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 January 2002 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
