38 MEADOWCROFT 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 four 38 MEADOWCROFT sales between December 1996 and July 2023 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 November 2010 sale was for 58% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.
