16 MORETON END LANE 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 16 MORETON END LANE sales between June 1996 and April 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 July 2000 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 16 MORETON END LANE be worth now?
