53 PRINCESS DIANA DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 53 PRINCESS DIANA DRIVE sales between August 1998 and April 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 February 2016 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 53 PRINCESS DIANA DRIVE be worth now?
