20 LONGACRES 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 20 LONGACRES sales from December 1996 and February 2014 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 1996 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.
