The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 TOWNSEND ROAD sales between July 1999 and July 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the September 2010 sale was for 98% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 98% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 87% above the HPI.
