4 MORETON PLACE 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 4 MORETON PLACE sales between March 2005 and March 2016 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 July 2006 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 34% above the HPI.
