258 LONDON ROAD 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 two 258 LONDON ROAD sales from July 1999 and December 2002 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 July 1999 sale was for 99% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 99% above the HPI over time, until the December 2002 sale, where it falls to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.
