The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 45 WEST COMMON WAY sales from September 2013 and June 2021 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the September 2013 sale was for 142% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 142% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 122% above the HPI.
