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 HITHERFIELD LANE sales between February 1995 and April 2015 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 July 2005 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, which was also at 47% above the HPI.
