53 BATFORD 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 53 BATFORD ROAD sales between September 2014 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 February 2016 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
