32 WESTFIELDS 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 32 WESTFIELDS sales between June 2012 and May 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 October 2015 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.
