The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 268 WATFORD ROAD sales between August 1998 and April 2014 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 2006 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, which was also at 12% below the HPI.
