22 CHURCH CROFT 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 22 CHURCH CROFT sales between June 2000 and October 2012 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 2006 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
