17 COMMON 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 two 17 COMMON LANE sales from May 2017 and January 2021 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 May 2017 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
