54 FORGE END 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 54 FORGE END sales between November 1997 and May 2014 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 December 1999 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, which was also at 4% below the HPI.
