42 HARPENDEN LANE 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 five 42 HARPENDEN LANE sales between June 1995 and October 2011 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 2007 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 42 HARPENDEN LANE be worth now?
