226 WATLING STREET 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 226 WATLING STREET sales between December 1999 and October 2021 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 November 2015 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI.
