20 OLD SCHOOL DRIVE 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 three 20 OLD SCHOOL DRIVE sales between June 2011 and August 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 May 2013 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
