50A TOWNSEND LANE 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 50A TOWNSEND LANE sales between February 1995 and May 2010 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 2004 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the May 2010 sale, where it rises to 75% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 75% above the HPI.
