26 CARPENDERS 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 two 26 CARPENDERS CLOSE sales from August 2002 and June 2024 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 August 2002 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI.
