38 TOPSTREET WAY 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 TOPSTREET WAY sales between July 2001 and February 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 2012 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.
