The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 176 WATFORD ROAD sales from February 2006 and July 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 February 2006 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI.
