29 BARNS DENE 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 three 29 BARNS DENE sales between February 2001 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 June 2006 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.
