2 HAMLET 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 two 2 HAMLET CLOSE sales from December 2000 and July 2013 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 December 2000 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it falls to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might 2 HAMLET CLOSE be worth now?
