27 MEADWAY 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 four 27 MEADWAY sales between July 1995 and June 2021 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 December 2009 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
