3 LILAC WAY 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 3 LILAC WAY sales between July 1998 and August 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 October 1999 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
