4 BRANCH ROAD 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 five 4 BRANCH ROAD sales between September 1998 and April 2022 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 February 2017 sale was for 58% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% below the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it rises to 53% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% below the HPI.
