The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 HATCHING GREEN CLOSE sales from January 2007 and November 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 January 2007 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI.
