15 HOLBORN 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 three 15 HOLBORN CLOSE sales between April 2001 and February 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 January 2005 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the February 2011 sale, where it rises to 40% below the HPI.
