The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 519 WATFORD ROAD sales between November 2001 and September 2021 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 2014 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.
