The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 298 WATFORD ROAD sales from December 2013 and March 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 December 2013 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI.
