The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 23 PRINCESS DIANA DRIVE sales between March 2000 and September 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 November 2006 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, which was also at 27% below the HPI.
