55 EASTCOTE DRIVE 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 55 EASTCOTE DRIVE sales between September 2001 and May 2017 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 2007 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.
