The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 535A WATFORD ROAD sales between April 1998 and December 2013 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 July 2004 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
