4 WEST WAY 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 four 4 WEST WAY sales between July 1999 and January 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 September 2015 sale was for 70% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 70% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.
