18 GRAFTON 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 four 18 GRAFTON CLOSE sales between July 2002 and November 2016 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 August 2010 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI.
