4 OAKVIEW CLOSE 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 two 4 OAKVIEW CLOSE sales from July 2002 and December 2010 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 2002 sale was for 99% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 99% above the HPI over time, until the December 2010 sale, where it falls to 90% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 90% above the HPI.
