The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 518 HATFIELD ROAD sales from March 1998 and May 1999 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 1998 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the May 1999 sale, where it rises to 48% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% below the HPI.
518 HATFIELD ROAD might now be worth an estimated £638,870.
