21 PENMAN 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 21 PENMAN CLOSE sales from December 1996 and October 2011 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 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI.
