The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 39 DRIFTWOOD AVENUE sales from June 1997 and April 2016 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the June 1997 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 48% below the HPI.
