5 HAMLET CLOSE 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 three 5 HAMLET CLOSE sales between April 2001 and October 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 November 2015 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it rises to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
