30 LONGACRES 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 30 LONGACRES sales between November 1999 and October 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 January 2004 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
