290 LONDON ROAD 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 290 LONDON ROAD sales from March 1995 and February 2016 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 March 1995 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI.
