The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 342 WATFORD ROAD sales between June 1997 and September 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 August 2013 sale was for 57% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 39% below the HPI.
