34 WADDLING LANE 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 34 WADDLING LANE sales between June 2002 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 June 2008 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 34 WADDLING LANE be worth now?
