The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 24 DRIFTWOOD AVENUE sales from February 2004 and March 2017 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 February 2004 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 52% below the HPI.
