22 BATCHWOOD 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 four 22 BATCHWOOD DRIVE sales between September 2003 and July 2013 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the October 2005 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI.
