525 WATFORD ROAD 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 525 WATFORD ROAD sales between March 2018 and July 2023 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 August 2019 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI.
