38 PRINCESS DIANA DRIVE 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 38 PRINCESS DIANA DRIVE sales between June 1999 and May 2018 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the September 2002 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.
