163 SANDPIT 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 163 SANDPIT LANE sales between September 2002 and December 2020 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 2005 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 39% above the HPI.
