27 ORIENT 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 27 ORIENT CLOSE sales from April 2010 and October 2022 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the April 2010 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI.
