25 FIELD CLOSE 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 25 FIELD CLOSE sales between October 1996 and November 2003 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 March 1999 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it falls to 48% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% below the HPI.
