40 WATFORD ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 40 WATFORD ROAD sales between July 1996 and July 2019 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 2012 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.

What might 40 WATFORD ROAD be worth now?
