53 LEYCROFT WAY 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 LEYCROFT WAY sales between August 1996 and May 2022 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 January 2003 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
