2 THE UPLANDS 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 THE UPLANDS sales from August 2003 and January 2024 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 2003 sale was for 95% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 95% above the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 140% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 140% above the HPI.
