The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 24 BUTTERFIELD ROAD sales between April 1997 and August 2011 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 2004 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.
