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 OLD SCHOOL DRIVE sales from June 2011 and May 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 June 2011 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI.
