15 MAGNA 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 MAGNA CLOSE sales between March 1999 and December 2004 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 September 2000 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the December 2004 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
