228 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 228 WATLING STREET sales between December 1997 and January 2014 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 August 2002 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.
