5 PENNY CROFT 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 five 5 PENNY CROFT sales between October 1996 and January 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 March 2016 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.
