5 LONG BUFTLERS 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 LONG BUFTLERS sales between November 2003 and December 2020 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 June 2012 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI.
